That's because a lot of roads were still dirt.

mud flaps
If you are riding most of the year and/or longer distance rides in all kinds of weather mudflaps will save your oil cooler if you have one, plain and simple. It's always about a balance of function over form, our trips are a month at a time and for me it's all about dependability. In the pic the one on the rear is because we pull a trailer.

If you ride in the rain or on wet roads a lot and you are tired of soaking your pants, socks and boots, and or stopping to put on rain pants at the site of every rain cloud I suggest that you install a set of hard lowers and fork air deflectors.
I bought a EG Limited in 2009 with vented hard lowers and shortly after installed a set of fork air deflectors to keep the wind and rain from coming under the batwing fairing and don't think I've put on my rain pants in since. They look funky, but they keep you dry.

Visions of fringe and red and white reflectors just came to my mind. And the one on "Frank the Real Biker's" bike fit the fender shape and aren't that noticeable.
